"Argh! Why do the bones in my body hurt so much?! Since when does an Unrivaled God Emperor feel pain? W-wait, what on earth is this?"The roar escaped from a dry, raspy throat. Long Bai, the Unrivaled God Emperor who once shook the Nine Realms and was feared by millions of beings, panted heavily upon the cold, dusty stone floor.After looking around the place where he lay stretched out on the floor..."No... This isn't the Immortal World..."Long Bai tried to push his body up, but an excruciating, stabbing pain felt as though it was crushing all his joints. His trembling hands pressed against the dusty wooden floor."This body has no Cultivation? And the natural Qi energy here is exceptionally thin?! I AM A GOD EMPEROR, HOW COULD I EVER ACCEPT TRANSCLOCATING INTO A TRASH BODY LIKE THIS?!"Before Long Bai could calm the turmoil of his rage and disbelief, the sea of his soul was abruptly struck by force!BOOOMM!His head felt as if it had been struck by the Sky-Shattering Hammer. Thousa

"Where did a piece of trash like you get the nerve to babble like that! You're courting death!" A roaring wrath exploded at that very moment. The icy insults from a youth who usually kneeled to beg for mercy completely shattered what was left of the guards' patience.SWOOSH! SWOOSH!Two gusts of wind were whipped up by the swing of heavy wooden clubs as thick as an adult's arm. Their targets were clear: Lucas's head and shoulder. In the minds of the two guards, the very next second would be decorated with the sound of splintering bones and hysterical weeping from the bastard child, just as it had always been.However, reality hit them far harder than the wood they swung.CLACK! CLACK!A heavy impact echoed, but it was not followed by screams of agony. The two thick wooden clubs came to a dead stop in midair, caught perfectly in place!The eyes of both guards widened as big as saucers. The light from the trembling lantern illuminated an impossible sight: Lucas stood unmoving, stopping

Wiping away the lingering sensation of pain from the surface of his skin, Lucas crossed his legs on the wooden floor, which was now much cleaner. He closed his eyes, casting all doubts far aside, and began to harmonize his consciousness with the pulse of nature surrounding this worn-out dwelling."Grand Primordial God Technique, activate!"A forbidden cultivation method from his glory days as a God Emperor began to spin within his soul once again. Even though the Qi in this mortal realm was so sparse—like dew in the middle of a desert—the technique forcibly sucked in every clump of energy particles scattered in the air. Faint streams of silvery light began to flow through the pores of his skin, creeping inside to fill his blood vessels and merging into his previously hollow dantian.Two days... Three days passed unnoticed.In the deep silence of meditation, the flow of Qi he managed to gather worked like golden needles, stitching back together his damaged internal organs. The bruises

"Still daring to talk back? Capture this ungrateful brat and bring him to the living room!" Vyan ordered the remaining personal guards.The guard stepped forward, grabbing Lucas's wrist to force him to comply.Actually, Lucas could have beaten up that personal guard with his eyes closed. But he did not want to reveal who he was. That made him silently accept the slightly rough treatment."Let go," Lucas faked as the black-suited guards behind Richard moved forward to grab both of his shoulders.Lucas's eyes stared coldly at the guards who hadn't even managed to touch his clothes. The invisible pressure radiating from that gaze caused the two trained guards to freeze for a moment, swallowing hard as their throats suddenly went dry."I have my own legs to walk with. You don't need to trouble yourselves dragging a piece of trash who will soon become a corpse if you keep daring to touch me," Lucas continued calmly, yet every word he spoke was laden with absolute threat.He walked past Vyan

"Ungrateful brat!" Vyan snapped, his anger erupting once more to cover up the fear and violent shock gripping his chest. His deeply flushed face was filled with utter disbelief."Who do you think you are, Lucas?! How dare you announce you're leaving the Wine Family as if you have any dignity! You're nothing more than a loser living off the charity of this place!"Vyan immediately stepped forward a pace, pointing at Lucas's face with a finger that trembled intensely."You want to leave?! Good! I don't care if you want to rot and die in the streets for all I care! But remember, from this very second on, all your rights are revoked! My monthly allowance, the living quarters I prepared for you when you marry, even a single cent of the wealth I've ever given you—I am taking it all back! You walk out of here without a single thing except that trash name of yours!"Vyan's roaring voice bounced harshly off the mahogany walls, accompanied by a heavy sigh of relief and a sly smile that once agai
